' "I object to that." yelled Payne, startled out. of his slumber, and struggling to his stubby legs, growing as red as a turkey gobbler the while. "I must make the motion to ad journ. I move that the House do now adjourn." 'T claim the right to make the mo tion," retorted Mann, grinning at Pnyne's annoyance. "The bill was In my charge and now that it is finish ed. I certainly have the privilege of moving adjournment. However, as the matter seems to be of such im pnrtanre to the gentleman from New York. 1 will yield to him and allow him to make it." "I refuse to accept it from the gen tleman from Illinois," Insisted Payne. "I" want a ruling from the Speaker on the matter. Uncle Joe's eyes twinkled. After a few minutes quiet Inward chuckling, he began: "The Chair Is of the opinion that whenever there Is anything before the Rouse affecting revenues, the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee should have Jurisdiction, and should be allowed to make the motion to adjourn. However, on days when other gentlemen havo charge of bills under consideration. It would seem only proper that they should rnuke the motion. In the present case In spite of the fact that tho gentleman from New York refuses to accept it as a favor from the gentleman from Illinois, the Chair decides to recog nize the gentleman from New York for the purpose of moving an adjourn ment." Payne rose proudly to his full height some five feet five and in sonorous tones shouted: "I move that the House do now adjourn." GOOD PLAY AM) COMPANY. SAYS RICHMOND PAPER The Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch pays the following tribute to "The Right of Way," which will appear at the Oregon theater next Monday night. The wonderfully artistic work of Guy Standing and Theodore Roberts in "The Right of Way" Is so fresh In the minds of Richmond playgoers that the performance last night at the Academy of Music of this great play was a severe test of the dramatic abil ity of Hallett Thompson and P. ,Aug. Anderson, who filled the roles of Charley Steele and Joe Portugais, re spectively, , and that they stood this test, the inevitable comparison most favorably, ppeaks volumes for their art. For it takes actors, not matinee idols, to play these parts, nnd these men are actors. It Is unnecessary to tell the story of the play. Those who have not seen it on the stage have read Sir Gilbert Parker's book, and for them it wi'.l be sufficient to say that iu gene Presbrey's dramatization of the story has caught and retained the very spirit, the beauty and the In wardness of , the book. There is only one notable change, and one wonders If that is for the better the play etnls in conventional happiness, in stead of with the beautiful and sub lime sadness of thj book. The Charley Steele of Hallett Thompson was u very much more than creditable performance. Dur ing the first two acts he was practical ly beyond criticism; the brilliant, cold, dissipated, inscrutable and, withal magnetic lawyer who doubts and wonders about the truth, good, evil, was faithfully and artistically por trayed. He harmed every one with whom ho camo in contact, and yet ono could see and feel the bigness of the man. And in the third act, when he is first shown away up the river, with hia memory gone from the blow on tho head, he was at Ills best; th.. whole man was changed manner and voice, 'as well as appearance a com plete transformation. Later he was not quite so strong, so convincing, but as a whole his portrayal of the part was clear-cut and thoroughly ar tistic. It would be hard to pick a flaw in the acting of P. Aug. Anderson, as Joe Portugais. Ho was the loyal, simple and brave "Canuck" to the very life. His make-up was perfect, his accent of the best, and he, too, played as an artist should. Tho whole company was good, but one other deserves special mention Arleen Hackett, who played Rosalie, the girl with whom Steele falls In love in his new and better life. She was winning and attractive in person, and played her part in such a manner, with such intelligence and with so perfect a speaking voice, that one wisTteri that more had been written for her. The audience, which packed the house from top to bottom, seemed cold, for some reason, until the third act, when it apparently awakened to a realization of what was go ng on, and from that time until the last cur tain was enthusiastic. "The Right of Way" Is great In It self, but after "The Call of the North" it was sublime. W. 1). G. ' ' i-C M ;:; ; : occupying a menial Job.
